The Eclipse beauty admits the red carpet isn’t like real life and shares her go-to beauty secret in this video from the premiere!

I cannot get over how amazing Nikki Reed looked last night — sure, she’s always been a totally gorgeous gal, but I think the style spotlight was totally on her at the LA premiere of Eclipse! With help from her talented stylist Jessica Paster, she took a chance in her fluttering, feather embroidered sky chiffon Marchesa and it definitely paid off. Nikki told Hollywoodlife.com exclusively that she chose the dress because she wanted something that was young and fun, adding that when she first put it on, “It left a trail in my house, and I was like, ‘I can’t escape it!,’ It was like living in a bed of feathers!”

While some may say her choice was quite questionable, I think she looked absolutely amazing — I really am so impressed with the way she dresses. “I don’t know how long I can pull this off, by 24 they may tell me I’m no longer allowed to wear short feather dresses,” the star said. Nikki, as long as you keep carrying yourself this way, I think you definitely have more years of fun frocks in your future!

The down to Earth starlet admitted that while the red carpet may be full of gorgeous gals, it’s nothing like real life! “No one looks like this, this is a fantasy world,” Nikki admitted. “My stylist would probably hang me for giving away all the secrets for what you do,” she said. “There are so many contraptions and things are made, corsets all the time.”

The Twi-beauty said while she may look glam, in reality she’s, “not a big makeup girl,” although she does have a go-to product she never leaves home without — and no, it’s not bronzer, mascara, or concealer — it’s vaseline! “It goes in the hair, the mouth, the eyelashes,” she said about the very versatile product.
